Abstract
We present ORTES, a methodology for conceptual modeling of real-time expert systems. ORTES combines advantages of current analysis methods, including structured analysis, object-oriented analysis and knowledge modeling, and circumvents their weaknesses. ORTES supports two stages, knowledge analysis and knowledge representation, in the process of knowledge acquisition. For knowledge analysis, ORTES applies both object and functional decomposition techniques. To overcome the limitations of functional decomposition, a generic task structure for real-time monitoring and control systems is proposed. For knowledge representation, ORTES makes use of object-oriented techniques which assign functions to objects and represent the system in terms of objects and their relationships. We present steps and strategies of ORTES in modeling a real-time control expert system.
